Alas de plata

"A woman with two faces and a past she wants to escape."

The novel picks up the story right where A Golden Cage, the first installment in the series, left off.

Faye's new life:

Faye has escaped hell. She lives in a small town in Italy, her company Revenge has become a worldwide success, and her abusive ex-husband Jack is in prison serving time for murder. For the first time in a long time, she feels she has found peace with her daughter and her mother.

A new threat:

But Faye's happiness is threatened when she discovers someone is buying up shares in her company with the intention of taking it from her. Forced to return to Stockholm to save her dream, she finds herself caught in a dangerous web where ghosts from her past seem determined to steal everything she has achieved. The plot thickens even further when she learns that Jack has escaped from prison and is seeking revenge.

The final duel:

Faye will have to face a powerful enemy, forge unexpected alliances (even with former enemies) and confront the dark secrets of her own childhood to save her company, her life and the people she loves.

"Camilla once again demonstrates her mastery of the suspense genre, always delivering thrillers that leave us speechless. A novel with complex characters and great psychological depth." ⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Ceci Castellanos, 'Mujeres Queleen'

"A good sequel, but not one of the author's best books. It's nothing like the quality of the Ice Princess series or The Mentalist." ⭐⭐⭐ — Rosa

"Faye is a character with whom it's impossible to empathize. She champions sisterhood and female empowerment, but at the same time she's a textbook psychopath, capable of killing anyone who gets in her way." — Ana G. Aranda, 'Anika entre libros'
